Our Maple Grove teachers nominate students once a month that are achieving class goals, making improvements in their learning, and being an all around good student.  Students were honored by their teachers who wrote about the students and their accomplishments so far this year.  Congratulations to these students who were chosen to represent our school for the month of November!

After completing their science benchmark assessment, students were able to take a moment and ponder what they are thankful for and write it on a “thankful circle.” These circles were then hung outside Hannah Nelson's science room to share their thankfulness with others! Here are a few of their thoughts! 

Mallory Ross' class made a Thanksgiving Feast!  Students and teachers started cooking first period and cooked all the way to fifth period.  They made mashed potatoes, gravy, stuffing, green beans, rolls, and two kinds of pie!  What a great time they had cooking and then eating the feast!  

Students in Ashley Mickelson's 6th grade art class learned about blending techniques using colored pencils.  Each student chose a candy to draw using the color pencil technique learned in class.  The students then added shadows and highlights in the packaging to look more realistic!  

Students in Ashley Mickelson's art class were learning about creating real texture in their artworks. They created an artwork in aluminum that illustrated the texture of an animal of their choice.

Kacy Carr's world history class was learning about Ancient China. They learned about the Terra-Cotta Army that was buried with the first emperor of China, Qin. The students then created their own terra-cotta soldiers.
